After stripping off all the parts that were not needed, the owner began removing the rear subframe and truck floor. In place he installed a Corrado VR6 front subframe with Mk2 Golf 16v wishbones, anti-roll bar and hubs. After building a custom firewall the VR6 was installed with JE Pistons, Pauter rods, stock head and camshafts. The engine made 524 horsepower and 488 lb-ft of torque thanks to a GT35R turbocharger producing 1.9 bar (27.5 psi) and upgraded injectors.<\/p>\n<p><a
